I recently bought my son a plastic drink cup, at his teacher’s suggestion (she wanted the whole class to have the same cup) from Babies R Us. It is a John Hinde “My Name Drink Bottle”. I did not feel good about getting it as there was no marker on it anywhere indicating what kind of plastic it is and although it says “tested to toy safety standards ASTM” it is made in China and with no plastic number indicator, but I got it anyway, since the whole class had it.
I have only let him use it a few times, and explained I would need to check it out on the internet to make sure it was safe. I am hoping you have some information on this cup and could help me!
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
